Alex Blanchet
Algologist
Joining OSH from scientific data collection, Alex has been serving up nutritious phytoplankton for our oysters since April, 2022! Alex carries a Marine Science degree from Stockton University, where she served as a research assistant researching wild oysters and working in oyster restoration. She also held previous positions as an APAIS technician, and field and laboratory technician at the Barnegat Bay Partnership. From New Jersey, she became hooked on aquaculture when working on initiatives first hand. She was drawn to OSH due to the fast pace and learning environment. On her free time, Alex enjoys hiking, playing video games, caring for her house plants, and arts and crafts.
Fun facts about Alex:
Algae and oysters are not the only things she keeps alive. Alex takes care of isopods, aka "roly-polies." She loves to listen to pop punk, emo, and alternative music.
